Two days later, Zuo Xin was buried in the royal cemetery, next to the mausoleum of the Empress Dowager Lan. And Empress Mei was moved from Tianmao Mountain by Zuo Xiao to be buried here with the first emperor.

When she was about to be buried, Mei'er asked Zuo Xiao for the Cold Moon Knife and the Red Fei Dizhu Crested Golden Step, and said, "Don't worry, I want to come back, I just want them to accompany Brother Xin and leave a thought for Brother Xin." And from now on, you don't have to worry about me seeing things and thinking about people again. ”

So much better! Zuo Xiao happily handed back the Cold Moon Knife and the Golden Step. Mei'er put them in the coffin herself.

When he was buried, Zuo Ling cried so much that her liver and intestines were broken, and Mei'er couldn't help but cry bitterly in the coffin. Zuo Xiao suddenly forgot to care at the moment, and looked at his half-brother sleeping, in fact, he also felt compassion and infinite emotion.

If it weren't for Empress Dowager Lan's love of fighting for power and taking the throne, maybe the two brothers could grow up in the palace together, study together, practice martial arts together, and be a pair of good brothers. It's a pity that because of the blood relationship that can't be chosen, they are destined to each other's fate.

After the funeral ended, Zuo Ling was sad for a long time, and it was not until after the first seven days that he slowly recovered under Mei'er's comfort.

After more than ten days, after seeing Zuo Ling gradually recovering, and often mentioning to Mei'er that she was going to Xiqiang, Mei'er started to think of returning to Xiqiang.

"Sister Ling, you delay for two more days, I have already sent a letter to my mother to mention the matter of seeking the Taoist temple, and there will be a reply soon, and after the letter, we will set off back to Xiqiang, and when the time comes, I can send you to the Taoist temple by the way." I have to see that temple with my own eyes and give instructions to myself before I can rest assured! ”

"Okay, listen to you!" Zuo Ling also readily agreed.

Two more days later, Luo Qing's letter arrived. Mei'er opened the letter and read it, and found that most of the letter was urging Mei'er to go back, saying that the Xiqiang residents in the Beiyi Territory should have been relocated, and all of them have been settled. One after another, the people of Beiyi have moved into the Beiyi territory. In this way, the territory of Beiyi is complete.

Therefore, it is urgent for Luo Yi to return to Beiyi to preside over the overall situation, and it is also necessary for Mei'er, the Empress of Xiqiang, to go back to calm the situation and calm people's hearts! If Beiyi recovers, Mei'er can't still be the queen of Xiqiang, right? There has to be a solution to this.

At the end of the letter, he piggybacked on Zuo Ling. The Taoist temple has been found, and it is said that the white cloud temple on the cloud trace peak is remote and elegant, and it is very suitable for seclusion.

After Mei'er got this letter from Luo Yi, the return date was even more imminent, and her heart became more and more entangled and uneasy, afraid that Zuo Xiao would not agree to let her return, and even more afraid that he would leave the little prince behind. So I was thinking about how to convince Zuo Xiao.

After thinking about it, there seemed to be no other way, so I had to go to the imperial study to meet in person.

Zuo Xiao always took the initiative to run to Lanyue Palace these days, and he didn't see Mei'er's mother and son two or three times a day, and he couldn't even sleep well. What is delicious and fun, all the fun is moved to the Lanyue Palace. It's just that I've never seen Mei'er take the initiative to find him, so Zuo Xiao was overjoyed.

Who knew that Zuo Xiao's hope was actually Luo Qing's letter of reversion, and his face sank at the moment, his eyes were icy, and he didn't say a word.

Mei'er lowered her eyebrows and stood behind him, and said softly: "It's just an expedient measure to go back, and when Beiyi settles down and Ma Teng's matter is resolved, Mei'er will definitely come back." ”

"How to solve the matter of Ma Teng? Kill him, or keep him? Zuo Xiao's question was as cold and hard as ice.

Mei'er thought for a moment and said, "I, I hope to keep him, but, but don't get me wrong." Keep him just because Sister Ling likes him. I will let Ma Teng take a leave of absence from me, so that he and Sister Ling can be together. Sister Ling is also your imperial sister, she is the most innocent in this whole thing, I hope you can treat her well, okay? ”

For a long time, Zuo Xiao didn't reply.

The air around it seemed to be in a cold snap, frozen and quiet. Mei'er felt the contradictions and struggles in his heart, so she didn't force him, and waited quietly for him to make a decision.

"Are you really going to come back when you're done with things?" Finally, he spoke in a low voice.

"Yes, I promise!" Mei'er hurriedly replied.
